And beat Tech's full court press on Traylor? Absolutely destroyed bye week, tbh.

UTEP lacks talent but Dana Dimel is trying to implement the Bill Snyder KState model there. They're 6-2 this year. Big crowd expected at the Sun Bowl. Still expecting a W barring a letdown. Line was like UTSA -11 last I saw.
I would have loved that guy in Lubbock.
ESPN2 on att directv and sling tv don't show UTSA/UTEP
where is it?
It's at 9:15 when the game starts.
yes, strong game and strong win......Sincere all day long baby.

I'll take being ranked above Miss. St. in the CFP.
Up a couple spots to #16 in the coaches poll. Still probably a bit high but I enjoy looking down on the likes of Auburn and Penn State after week 11.
BYU leapfrogs UTSA in both polls after beating a 1-7 FCS team.
Runners still won't be in the CFP standings even with all the losses by ranked teams.
if UTSA can't get into the FCS top 25 by the end of this season (assuming they go undefeated) that would just be total BS.
Could be the members of the committee aren't going to commit to it until the end of season. Might not want to be seen as chasing a flash in the pan only to see UTSA lose to some other CUSA dorks.
If #17 5-4 Miss. St. stays in the top 25 though....
At the end of the day, we're just talking about bowl positioning any way for the runners. They seriously need to expand the playoffs for all conference winners.
Nah, that ain't it. They blatantly used the bottom third or so of the Top 25 to justify their Top 5 rankings. Its why Houston and SMU weren't in there ( it would help Cinc down the linei). Two-loss (now 3) Minnessota, who had lost to a 3-5 MAC team and just lost to Illinois who UTSA already beat, to help Ohio St. Three-loss (now 4) Miiss St helped Bama. Two-loss Fresno St (now 3) helped Oregon.
Obviously, SOS matters. Noone is saying our 9-0 is equivalent to Georgia's 9-0. But you can't use the SOS argument when there's a 3-4 loss difference in W-L record between teams. That's just blatantly biased against G5s. Winning every game is tough. It's much easier to run the table on paper than it is in reality. That's why there's so many teams, including teams the committee ranked, lose a bunch of games they're supposed to theoretically win on paper.
Unlikely, but if Cinci slips up it could be the difference between a NY6 bowl or just a regular bowl. They've looked vulnerable the past few weeks.
What do you think of the McGuire hire? Traylor Lite. Makes me even more sure that Traylor was Tech's guy.
Well yeah I'd be stunned if I ever see a 16 or even 12 team playoff system in my lifetime. But it's what it should be.
There really isn't a coach out there that thrills for Tech, and that includes s.What do you think of the McGuire hire? Traylor Lite. Makes me even more sure that Traylor was Tech's guy.
I think after Traylor, McGuire was the next best hire out there. We desperately need to win some recruiting battles coming up with Tcu, Baylor and Houston and I think he gives us the best chance.
To be fair, four of those six bowls are just regular bowls themselves.
I don't see UTSA's leapfrogging Cincy in any case. , they'll probably rank San Diego State above UTSA if both win out.
I think they'll sneak in tomorrow.
Uh what's up utsa..... Down 17-10 in the third to 1-8 southern miss?
USM had a great game plan and UTSA played right into it. Even with the win we'll drop in the rankings and out of the playoff ranking.
stop it
Dropped a couple in the coaches poll. rated over the Aggies in the AP.
